What they say
ServiceIQ and BDO’s Colour Accounting workshops have received 100 per cent approval with Kiwis:
“I have clearer understanding of accounting concepts, increased ability to read financial data and the confidence to interpret that data in order to inform our decisions. The use of colour to indicate and separate data is inspired and I use this same concept in my own reporting today!”
Hamish Drury – Lubricants Business Manager, Z Energy Limited, Auckland
"We opted for a tailored Colour Accounting workshop across our businesses for about 30 staff with various levels of financial acumen. The format made accounting approachable and easier to understand. Having it tailored meant we could use real life examples, have people work with their peers across the organisation and better understand the effect of decisions and transactions in their specific parts of the business. All reported increased general financial literacy, along with greater confidence in analysing financial reporting."
Janine Tulloch – Finance Manager, Skyline Enterprises, Queenstown
"Four of my colleagues from our management team also attended and we all benefited from the course. We thought it was well presented and there was nothing scary about the concepts. I would definitely recommend it for people in management roles.”
John Etheridge – Operations Manager, The George Hotel, Christchurch
"Fifteen of our staff from across EPL attended the one day Colour Accounting course and achieved the goal of gaining a basic understanding of accounting principles, terminology and practices. This included everyone completing a valuable financial exercise that related specifically to our EPL business. I highly recommend this course to businesses who want to broaden the financial acumen of their staff."
Mark Field – CEO, Elastomer Products Ltd (ELP)
